MID-WEST Instrument – Diaphragm Type Differential Pressure Gauges

Diaphragm type: ± 2% or ± 5% Full Scale Accuracy. The high and low-pressure ports are completely isolated from each other. There is no bypass and therefore they are ideally suited for use on dissimilar fluids, air, gases, or liquids with a high concentration of solids, etc. They also come in a variety of sizes allowing for very sensitive measurements. The Differential Pressure is sensed by the movement of an elastomer diaphragm against a precision calibrated range spring. The change in position of the diaphragm in response to the change in Differential Pressure moves an internal magnet. This magnet, in turn, causes a rotary magnet external to the gauge body to rotate. This rotary magnet has a pointer attached which indicates the differential pressure on the
dial.
Diaphragm-Type Differential Pressure Gauges are available with one or two hermetically sealed reed switches or 4-20mA transmitter depending on model. The switches are adjustable within a defined percentage of the full scale range of the gauge and are available in SPDT and SPST, normally open or normally closed configurations for various load/power ratings. The switches can be set to activate or deactivate on rising or falling pressure. Switches are “CE” marked per the EU low voltage directive. Mid-West Diaphragm-type Differential Pressure Gauges can be configured for use in hazardous locations. All Hazardous Location Switches are both CSA and UL listed. The CSA & UL listings are for the entire assembly and not just the enclosure. IECEx certified switches are available now on model 240.

Mid-West Instrument Model 700 Wet/Wet Differential Pressure Transmitter utilises a piezoresistive differential pressure sensor sensing element with stainless steel isolated diaphragm. Silicon oil is filled in between die and two diaphragms. The measured differential pressure is transmitted onto the die through the diaphragm and silicon oil. The signal output generated by the piezoresistive bridge sensor is amplified into a useable voltage or 4-20 mA output as specified by customer. 1 Year Limited Warranty from Mid-West Instrument.
